Storage Instructions

• Keep it Airtight: Store in a sealed container or the original resealable pouch to maintain the crisp, roasted texture.

• Cool and Dry: Keep in a cool pantry away from moisture to prevent the shells from becoming soft or the kernels from losing their crunch.

• Cold Storage: For maximum shelf life beyond 6 months, store in the refrigerator to protect the delicate natural oils from oxidation.

Fun Facts

• The “Smiling Nut”: In many cultures, pistachios are known as the “smiling nut” (Iran) or “happy nut” (China) because the split shell resembles a smile.

• Ancient Royalty: Legend has it that the Queen of Sheba loved pistachios so much she demanded all the land’s harvest be reserved for her royal court.

• Color Secret: The vibrant green and purple hues of the kernel come from the same antioxidants found in spinach (chlorophyll) and berries (anthocyanin).

Usage Ideas

• Party Appetizer: The perfect standalone snack for gatherings, pairing beautifully with cheeses and olives.

• Salad Crunch: Shell and roughly chop them to add a salty, colorful crunch to citrus or beet salads.

• Crusted Topping: Crush the kernels to create a gourmet salty crust for roasted fish or chicken.
